This thesis deals with an examination of influence of the Parables of Enoch on the oldest Jesus traditions. The presupposition of this examination is chronological setting of these traditions. The core of this thesis is an analysis of a selected motive in the Parables of Enoch and also in Jesus traditions. This motive is a figure of the Son of Man, which is important for both of compared materials. Then we will try to propose a possible influence of some eschatological ideas from the Parables on Jesus himself. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Since the Bible makes mention of the book of Enoch, we sought to harmonize the accounts so that some biblical texts could be seen more clearly. In the book of Jude, for example, there is a prophecy attributed to Enoch, however, this prophecy is not found in the Bible, which begs the question: Where Judas taken this prophecy? The prophecy is present in the Book of Enoch, more precisely in the Book of Watchers. Reading the Book of Watchers introduces the reader in an interesting world that discusses about the fall of angels, giants, flood, demons and visions. Such reports, present in Enoch, complete biblical narratives giving them a very interesting harmony. In an attempt to know the influence of Enoch in Judaism, allowed us to find quotes from the book present in Jewish writings, and quotes made by the leaders of early Christianity. In both cases there was extensive use of the Book of Watchers corroborating the finding that the book was a significant influence on the thought of Judaism and Christianity angelology primitive. Keywords: Enoch, early Christianity, Angelology. / A pesquisa se constituiu em uma busca por resgatar a compreensão da epistemologia angelológica presente no cristianismo primitivo. Uma vez que a Bíblia faz menção do livro de Enoque, buscou-se harmonizar os relatos de modo que alguns textos bíblicos pudessem ser percebidos com mais clareza. No livro de Judas, por exemplo, encontra-se uma profecia atribuída a Enoque, porém, tal profecia não está presente na Bíblia, o que, naturalmente, suscita a seguinte questão: De onde Judas extraiu esta profecia? A profecia encontra-se presente no Livro de Enoque mais precisamente no Livro dos Vigilantes. A leitura do Livro dos Vigilantes introduz o leitor em um mundo bem diferente que discorre sobre queda de anjos, gigantes, dilúvio, demônios e visões. Tais relatos, presente em Enoque, completam narrativas bíblicas concedendo-lhes harmonia. Na tentativa de conhecer a influência de Enoque no judaísmo, buscou-se verificar citações do livro presente em escritos judaicos, bem como citações feitas por líderes do cristianismo primitivo. Nos dois casos verificou-se ampla utilização do Livro dos Vigilantes corroborando para a constatação de que o escrito foi muito influente no pensamento angelológico do judaísmo e cristianismo primitivo.

Angelology emerged under the domination of Jewish groups. Reconstructing a brief history for Jewish groups of the Second Temple Period is necessary to ascertain which Jewish group may be aligned with the angelology of 1 Enoch. Moreover, angelology developed within this natural historical context. An exploration of the tradition of angelology includes angelic origins, their functions in the Hebrew Bible and the Septuagint, possible mythical associations, and speculation about why angels surfaced within Israelite religion. Examining the background, structure, and contents of 1 Enoch will ensconce the Enochic writings, within the Second Temple Period. Various theories exist concerning the origins, genre, and characteristics of the apocalyptic. Although there is no agreement about these issues, I propose that 1 Enoch exhibits an apocalyptic perspective. While the notion of angels possibly appeared early in Semitic literature, a proliferation of angelology developed by the time of the writing of the books of I Enoch. It is judicious to examine which group possibly produced the Enochic corpus and pos&1"ble reasons for an increase in angelic speculation within these writings. It is my conviction that 1Enoch6 was dependent upon Genesis 6:1-4, which seived as a midrash of this earlier mythical tradition. I aspire to validate that both Genesis 6: 1-4 and the Book ofW atchers exhibits priestly concerns that are in sync with the Pentateuch. Priestly interests evident in the Enochic tradition may suggest the writer was a priest, who sought to address contentious issues involving the Jerusalem priesthood of his time. I believe this research is necessary to establish that Enoch's angelology influenced late Second Temple Jewish society. This is evidenced within subsequent Jewish literatures, which display Enochic angelic concepts, and reflects the belief system of a segment of Jewish society during that time. I am appreciative of the University of South Africa, the examining committee, and professor Spangenberg for their guidance. / Biblical and Ancient Studies / D.Litt. et Phil. (Biblical Studies)

The embryo of rejection began in the second century, with Julius Africanus, and reached its peak in the fourth century with Augustine of Hippo. However, the official position, in Western Christianity, which rejected the writing of I Enoch as a useful literature to faith, happened at the Council of Laodicea (century IV) who said that the only names of angels authorized by the Scriptures would be the Miguel, Gabriel and Raphael. this position deleted the book of Enoch (book that makes reference to several names of angels) from the books useful for theological research, until recent times in the West. The great character of Christianity was a man recognized in Palestinian as Rabbi. This title presupposes knowledge of the main literature enjoyed by the Jews. The consensus among most of the Second Temple scholars, is that the writing of I Enoch occupied a distinct place in the literary scene of that time. This thesis was born from a plausible suspicion, which is embedded within the cultural context of the I century AD, that Jesus knew the Book of I Enoch. But not only that, distrust develops in the possibility that he has studied the writing and he built teachings based on that text. The research had as general objective: Find the relationship between Jesus of Nazareth and the Written I Enoch. With regard to its technical procedures, research is bibliographic, exploratory and documentary. For this research to gain form, we used the historiographical proposal of the Historical Jesus, and have developed a methodology called Analysis of the Sayings of Jesus (ASJ), for use in the investigation of sayings attributed to Jesus contained in the Gospels. The first chapter, besides being a book review of I Enoch addressing the book on various perspectives, was built aiming to bring the Brazilian Academy the latest information on research related to I Enoch, in dialogue with the principal investigators of this literature. The second chapter was developed in order to examine by historiography, the potential of some words recorded in the Gospels in being originates from the person of Jesus. The third and last chapter presents an approach among words that were examined and the Book of I Enoch. The end result indicates that the literature of Enoch may have occupied a prominent place among the estimated written by Jesus Christ. / Até o século IV d.C. era comum, entre os cristãos, a leitura do livro pseudepígrafo de I Enoque. O embrião da rejeição começou no século II, com Júlio Africano, e atingiu o seu auge no século IV com Agostinho de Hipona. Porém, o posicionamento oficial, no cristianismo ocidental, que descredenciou o escrito de I Enoque como uma literatura útil à fé, deu-se no Concílio de Laodiceia (Séc. IV) que afirmou que os únicos nomes de anjos autorizados pelas Escrituras seriam o de Miguel, Gabriel e Rafael, afastando I Enoque (que cita vários nomes de anjos) do cenário teológico, até épocas recentes no Ocidente. O grande personagem do cristianismo foi um homem reconhecido na Palestina como Rabi, título que pressupunha o conhecimento das principais literaturas apreciadas pelos judeus. É consenso entre a maioria dos estudiosos do Segundo Templo que o escrito de I Enoque ocupava um lugar distinto no cenário literário daquela época. A presente tese nasceu de uma desconfiança plausível, inserida dentro do contexto cultural do I século da era cristã, de que Jesus Cristo conhecia o livro de I Enoque. Mas, não somente isso, a desconfiança evoluiu para a possibilidade de que ele tenha feito uso do escrito construindo ensinos embasados no mesmo. A pesquisa teve como objetivo geral: Pesquisar a relação entre Jesus de Nazaré e o Escrito de I Enoque. No que se refere aos seus procedimentos técnicos, a pesquisa é de natureza bibliográfica, exploratória e documental. Para que esta pesquisa ganhasse forma, fizemos uso da proposta historiográfica do Jesus Histórico, bem como desenvolvemos uma metodologia chamada Análise dos Ditos de Jesus (ADJ), para ser utilizada na investigação de ditos atribuídos a Jesus contidos nos evangelhos. O primeiro capítulo, além de ser uma análise do livro de I Enoque abordando o escrito sobre várias perspectivas, foi construído objetivando trazer à academia brasileira as informações mais recentes sobre as pesquisas relacionadas a I Enoque, em diálogo com os principais pesquisadores da obra. O segundo capítulo foi desenvolvido com vistas a examinarmos, pela historiografia, o potencial de alguns ditos, de serem originários da pessoa de Jesus. O terceiro e último capítulo apresenta uma aproximação entre os ditos trabalhados e o livro de I Enoque. O resultado final indica que a literatura enoqueana pode ter ocupado um lugar de destaque entre os escritos estimados por Jesus Cristo.

For this intention in this research was test the contribution of Myth of Watchers (I Enoch 6-11) for the imaginary of demoniac in the synoptics, especially while impure spirit. To reach this object firstly we show the impact of Myth of Watchers in both Enochic and Judaic tradition, for ahead analyze its contribution for the imaginary of demoniac. After this, we present the presence of themes and ideas of this myth in some texts of New Testament. Proved this presence of the myth in Christian s communities, we analyze the characteristics and symbolic expressions that to paint the demoniac picture in the synoptics, asking for the relations that with daemons of the Judaic traditions. With the collection of images about demoniac of these traditions in the Second Temple period and its nearby relation with the Myth of Watchers, we conclude with the hypothesis that demoniac while calling of impure spirit bear marks and echoes of development of the Myth of Watchers in the Enoch traditions and in apocalyptic. Possibly we can to state that the images and ideas raised for reads of this myth was present in imaginary of the Christian s communities where the synoptics raised especially in the idea of daemons. Thus the influence of the Myth of Watchers doesn t resume itself at the literary utilitarism but is in environment of imaginary appropriate in manner very much dynamic and hidden. / A obra compósita conhecida como I Enoque, formada por cinco livros, logrou muita importância para os Judaísmos do segundo templo, como também para os Cristianismos dos primeiros quatro séculos. Por isso, a intenção dessa pesquisa foi testar a contribuição do Mito dos Vigilantes (I Enoque 6-11) para o imaginário do demoníaco nos sinóticos, em especial enquanto espírito imundo. Para esse intento, primeiramente apresentamos as influencias do Mito dos Vigilantes na tradição enoquita e judaica em geral, para depois analisarmos suas contribuições para o imaginário do demoníaco. Depois, mostramos a presença de temas e idéias desse mito em alguns textos neotestamentários. Comprovada a presença do mito nas comunidades cristãs, analisamos as características e expressões simbólicas que pintam o quadro demonológico nos sinóticos, perguntando pela possível relação com os demônios das tradições judaicas. Com o acúmulo de imagens dos seres malignos dessas tradições no período do segundo templo, e a sua próxima relação com o Mito dos Vigilantes, concluímos ser possível a hipótese de que o demoníaco ao ser chamado de espírito impuro trás indícios e ecos do desenvolvimento, nas tradições de Enoque e na apocalíptica, do Mito dos Vigilantes. Possivelmente, podemos afirmar que as imagens e idéias geradas pelas releituras desse mito permeavam o imaginário das comunidades cristãs que geraram os sinóticos, em especial na concepção dos demônios. Assim, a influência do Mito dos Vigilantes não se resume a utilização literária, mas está no âmbito do imaginário, apropriado de maneira muito mais sutil e dinâmica.
